There was no call on the play and no flag on the field, but Super Bowl XLIII MVP Santonio Holmes will have to pay a fine for using the football as a prop following his game-winning catch.

Just after the catch, Holmes appeared to be impersonating the NBA's LeBron James by tossing the football in the air in celebration.

Officials at the game didn't call a penalty, but later admitted that there should have been one.

NFL.com reported the league fined Holmes $10,000 for his end zone antics.
